Four members of the Carleton College softball team were recognized for excellence on the field of play this season as the MIAC coaches handed out their postseason awards. Sophomore Anna Lauko was voted to the All-MIAC team for the second consecutive year, while teammates Sam Kile and Katie Eppard also earned spots on the all-conference squad. Junior Corrie Lucchesi received All-Conference Honorable Mention for the second consecutive year.

The curtain closed on the 2017 season as the Carleton College softball team absorbed a pair of road losses to Gustavus Adolphus College, falling by scores of 3-0 and 8-7 (11 inn.) The games also meant the end of the playing careers for the two active seniors on the roster: Mia Orans and Madi Emenheiser.

The Carleton College softball team played its final home games of 2017 on Friday afternoon and ended up with a doubleheader split with visiting Saint Mary’s University. The Knights took the opener, 5-4, before the Cardinals responded with an 11-4 victory in game two.
